Something something Panama Papers...

I bet that Venn diagram is a circle.

The Panama Papers weren't swept under a rug, you just didn't follow news on them.

Also Epstein 100% killed himself, and unsealing this info won't tell you anything meaningful, because predators who hide among the rich don't fucking tell every person they meet that they're a predator.

Conspiracy theories are never a good look on anyone.

I'm not real big on conspiracy theories.

The video being lost around the original attempt is rather suspect, but him finding something to hang himself with again... He should have been in a paper gown in a padded room. We have tons and tons of suicidal people in asylums and jail that are not given an opportunity to hang themselves.

Someone as high profile as him and with a cell mate?

I'm not saying he 100% didn't kill himself, but It sure as hell looks like somebody went through a lot of trouble to provide him opportunity.

The hidden people on the list that makes this list so inconsequential are the same exact people with the type of reach it would need to make sure he didn't start naming names.

He doesn't need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.

Yeah, no need to answer anything I point out just put your hands over your ears and tell me I'm QANON and full of shit that'll really make your point and help your position here.

Come to think of it maybe there's a reason you're getting all the down votes...

"Conspiracy theories" have ironically enough become weaponized as a thought terminating cliche. Am I supposed to not wonder what about his guards and what they were doing, or the camera feeds, or the people getting paid six figures to handle his case, or the dozens of other loose ends?

There are enormous efforts being taken to gaslight people out of their curiosity about this case.

I also responded to your "points"

The downvotes are just "rich people bad" shit, same as ever.

Rich people are bad

And yet your take here has nothing to do with the reality of Epstein's crimes nor his suicide. It has nothing to do with the actual suicides passed off as conspiracies.

Hopping into this conversation to say: that person is right; I'm not downvoting you because "rich people bad". I'm downvoting you because you aren't engaging in this discussion to share ideas and understand the other person. Your approach in this discussion is very much one of shutting down thinking that opposes yours. That doesn't get a dialog going; it ends it. You can do with that as you like, but I thought I'd speak up for myself so you don't mischaracterize my downvote.

Your approach in this discussion is very much one of shutting down thinking that opposes yours.

Conspiracy theory thought is mental poison and should be shut down. Not all thinking is equal.

I wouldn't engage a "flat earther" in a meaningful dialogue, and I would caution you against it as well. It's chess with a pigeon, at best

Also, here's the comment I received directly before yours, lest you think I was just making that part up

Epstein 0% killed himself. See? I can assert things with no evidence as well. The whole thing reeks from start to finish and I have no idea how anyone can be completely confident in what happened either way.

I agree with you on the papers (been following that story since it broke), and I'll agree that I probably would've offed myself in his position as well, but there were some pretty unprobable shit happening around his death unless I've been misled hard. I mean the guy was on suicide watch, wasn't he? It's at the very least suspect as hell that it happened like it did.

there were some pretty unprobable shit happening around his death unless I’ve been misled hard

This is definitely true. But then, 9/11 was pretty improbable too, and was definitely not an inside job.

He was taken off suicide watch shortly before his suicide.

Fair enough, I didn't know he was taken off suicide watch. Makes one wonder why, though. It's not like his circumstances changed.

But we'll likely never know anyway, so I don't quite understand why you're getting so much flack for shit that is ultimately academic at this point. Don't get me wrong, as I think his victims deserve to know as much as possible, but at this point we're getting into Jimmy Hoffa territory with this shit.

Too bad you're already getting down voted.. people do love a good conspiracy story

There are people who collect and document the information from the Epsteins of the world for blackmail. It was how Hoover built the FBI. I am not claiming that Epstein was murdered, but anyone who tries to cash in on the information that Epstein had, would have information that destroys lives. Desperate people do act desperately. I would guess that little 'conspiracies' abound, as people try to not be outed; using non-disclosure agreements, for example.
